Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE

[Mod-Jay]

The line the Error is :

 

$result = mail("" . $formatted_number. "", "" . $subject . "", "". $message ."");

 

In the code:

if (array_key_exists($carrier, $carriers))
{

$correctCarrier = $carriers[$carrier];


$i = 0;
while($i < $_POST['amount']){
$i++;

$formatted_number = $to.$correctCarrier
$result = mail("" . $formatted_number. "", "" . $subject . "", "". $message ."");
$resultmsg = "Your Message Has been sent to the number ". $formatted_number. ".<br>";
}
Echo $result;
Echo $resultmsg;
Echo "You have Sent $_POST['amount'] Messages to the number $_POST['to'].";
}

Mod-Jay,

  The problem is that line before is missing the ';' at the end.

 

However, I have to ask why are you concatenating a bunch of empty strings there?  There is no reason for that, just pass your parameters in there... php does typcasting on the fly.

Uhm? Someone must be seeing different because theres a ';' there

Yes, you are seeing something different.  This line is missing ';':

$formatted_number = $to.$correctCarrier

You said the line causing the error was:

$result = mail("" . $formatted_number. "", "" . $subject . "", "". $message ."");

and Gizmola said:

which is the line that I just posted.

 

Anyway, glad it's working.

Maq deserves the php "e-knight" badge for defending my honor.  Thanks amigo 

 

But back to the important part of my reply, which is -- please for all that is good and right in the world of php development, lose all the null strings!!!!!!!!
